Fire stopping across Clackmannanshire: what to expect
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are penetration schedules that need working through and hidden openings found during inspections.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.

What’s near Alloa
In Alloa, that means premises near Alloa North Church, Alloa Academy and The Bobbing John pub, among other places. Alloa has its own railway station: Alloa station. Nearby you will also find Old Tulliallan Castle (3.8 miles south-east) and Alloa Museum And Gallery (less than half a mile south). The countryside around Alloa includes Black Devon Wetlands RSPB Reserve and Myreton Hill.
Service penetrations in Clackmannanshire buildings
Across Clackmannanshire, new cabling and pipework added after handover often leaves gaps in fire-resisting walls. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and say if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Our area covers every Scottish council area, Clackmannanshire included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. On the coastal side of Clackmannanshire, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first.
Alloa: For a hospital such as William Simpson Asylum, 5.2 miles to the south-west of Alloa, penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. For a hotel such as Dunmar House Hotel, which lies west of Alloa, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Signs you need fire stopping
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Quoting for work in Clackmannanshire
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Common questions from Clackmannanshire clients
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you have third-party installer accreditation for fire stopping?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we are not the right fit for that package.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested and the installation has to match the test.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
